Door Decorating and Other Events from Student Council Bring Us All Together

December 16, 2020terryvillenewspaper0 Comments

It would be redundant to comment on how different and confusing this school year has been for us all, yet it’s important to emphasize something that many may not have noticed––the lack of available interaction between peers and teachers. Not only this, but students have noticed a lack of connection between themselves and their fellow peers. While it may have become increasingly obvious with the move to fully distanced learning, many students have admitted that…

June 11, 2020terryvillenewspaper0 Comments

It is certainly easy to list the tremendous number of negative impacts that COVID-19 has had on our society and our world.  From the inconvenience of grocery shopping with a mask and having to follow arrows on the floor, to the far more serious and real impact the disease has had on families medically.  For our community, I certainly hope the impact has been with a lack of toilet paper and hand sanitizer and not…

June 3, 2020terryvillenewspaper0 Comments

March was an anxious period for most students. The normal stress of school – papers, math tests, AP exam prep – was slowly being taken over by another beast. This battle, for students and staff alike, was totally new: a worldwide pandemic. Throughout February, students received notifications from the news on their phones; they were frequently updated about the spread of COVID-19 as it infected thousands. At first, it seemed like something that was strictly…
